Option to automatically add current filters to new items #430

Closed gentlecolts closed 2 weeks ago

gentlecolts commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When adding new items, often I want them to apply to my current visual context: If I've currently filtered for items related to a project, for example, I often want new items added to be associated with that project. This can become even more of a nuisance when multiple filters are applied.

Describe the solution you'd like A checkbox for "Apply current filters" on the new todo dialog would be a potentially very valuable convenience feature. Could be defaulted off for each new todo, or "remembered" from whatever was last used.

Describe alternatives you've considered Another solution could be to have this be a setting instead of a per-item checkbox, although I worry this may introduce unintended tagging if not as explicit

That would mean another interface element, which I generally am critical about as it potentially bloats the interface. So I think we need to figue out if this feature serves a lot of users.

This can be easily implemented. in fact I quickly wrote a prototype and it kind of works well. But this only works on projects and contexts as you can have several of those. How would an auto fill work for priorities?

@gentlecolts I believe your alternative proposal overlaps with https://github.com/ransome1/sleek/issues/281 correct?

I did add a prototype for this into the latest pre-release. Feel free to give it a try: https://github.com/ransome1/sleek/releases/tag/v1.3.0-rc.1

You can post your feedback in 281, so we can collect it at one central point.

I was only considering the use case of projects/contexts actually, as I don't personally use priorities much, that'd probably be enough for this requests I think!
